Fox News
A former Idaho gubernatorial candidate was convicted Monday of killing a 12-year-old Colorado girl who vanished decades ago.
The trial was the second for Pankey. A jury was unable to reach a verdict last year on the kidnapping and murder charges. Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to louis.casiano@fox.com.
Matthews went missing after being dropped off at an empty home by a family friend after performing at a Christmas concert in Greeley, 50 miles north of Denver. She was a 7th grader at the time and a member of the Franklin Middle School Honor Choir when she died.
